We just bought a Rogue for my wife and I have not noticed this. However, my Xterra makes a noise like you described and in the circumstances you described. I was told that it is normal and is something to do with the ABS brakes doing a self check or something along those lines.

My rogue sounds the same. When you go in reverse, it sounds like you ran someone over. I brought it in 3 times for repair--first the Nissan dealer said they couldn't hear anything, but when it did it again we brought it back. They replaced the rear chassis. Still heard a sound, brought it in again and rode with a technician who heard it. Left the car for 4 days, and now they say they hear nothing and can't fix it. It is only 4 months old (2010 Rogue). We are going to see our legal advisor for assistance.

I have an identical problem with my 2010 Nissan Rogue. I bought it late January 2010. The faint springy then thud sound is audible only when I first start my vehicle. Then it goes away over 5 mph. I took it 3 times to the dealership; the last time I had the master mechanic ride with me and he immediately stated that this is triggered by ABS self-testing when I first start the vehicle - meaning, I have to turn off the engine then re-start to simulate the sound. I guess we have to live with it. Let me know if you have any update. Oh btw, overall, I'm happy with my vehicle.

I have the same popping sound problem as described by all of you. My vehicle was purchased in August 2010. The car is just 3 months old.

I also hear squeaking noise coming from the dash where the stereo system is. We thought it was the trunk cover springs noise when car was moving but I confirmed that it's coming from the inside of the dash in the center.
